Thanks Al. I ordered the new fence system last night. It only costs $42, which helps me understand why the first one snapped off. It was either aluminum or pot metal. After I get my Makita fixed and get a buyer, I’ll go down to Woodcraft and select my new best friend. This is a tool that I use every day, it has to work with me to get my jobs done. I guess my biggest disappointment with the Makita was that I lost a friend. I was literally working my tail off to get ready for a fair and that incident just added another level of anxiety for me. I was saddened more than angry, because these tools and I are in this together from milling to the final cuts. Oh Well…....
Many LJ’s have their favorites, so clearly they have their “friends” too. I totally get that because our tools are our life line. I’ll let you know when I get my next saw.
Thanks for all your help guys, I really appreciate your suggestions and comments.
Aloha…......
